Flow chart symbols for programming decisions

I just recently got a copy of Visio 2007 through the college I am
attending. I know virtually nothing of the program so forgive me if
this is wierd. With all the different groups of symbols to choose
from, I cannot seem to locate a set that would be fit for program
decision making. Boolean operators (AND,OR,NOT,etc) and
IF...THEN...ELSE; etc. If anyone can steer me in the right direction
I would really appreciate it. I am learning C++ and want to map my
algorithms so as not to confuse myself once projects get larger.

Thanks again for your time,
Mark

If you are using a flowcharting type of diagram then IF..THEN..ELSE is
usually shown by a Decision box. Diagramming of this type doesn't
usually show Boolean operators , the logic is show in process boxes
with the operation e.g.
data = data AND 0x7F // remove any 8th bit
of if it's a condition:
if (data.ready) AND (data.count > 0)
